The recently concluded Zoning Code /Sunshine:Law resulted,
among other things, in the Court sending Bill 250 (the `96 zoning code) back to
the County Council to redo because it was passed in "wilful violation" of the
state Sunshine Law. (See attached Viewpoint sent to WHT & HTH.)
This remand presents a great opportunity for the council and the public
to review and amend the Yamashiro zoning code, which was illegally adopted
by the '96 Council, six of nine of whose members were leaving office.
However, Planning Committee chair Leithead -Todd is planning a thirty
three (33) day high speed approval process that will greatly diminish the
opportunity to review and remedy undesirable parts of this illegally adopted
zoning code. Do you agree that our goal should be to seek comprehensive
review by the council and adequate public input rather than a rubber stamp
ratification?
If you believe as I do that this is a great opportunity for the council and
the public to understand and amend the zoning code, please circulate this
information. Also, let your councilperson know you want a comprehensive
review, not a hasty re- adoption of Bill 250 Tell them that when it comes to the
Hawaii County zoning code, thirty three days in the sunshine isn't enough time
to make up for eight months in the dark,

I'll send you this and other information to "cc" to others,

P.S. Mayor Yamashiro's attempt to subject SMA permits to "automatic
approval" was killed by the AG's office. So to we killed (via the Planning
Commission and the state CZM office) his earlier attempt to decimate the SMA
by a boundary amendment that would have reduced the SMA by 95 %.
